There is nothing more unforgiving than willful ignorance
I’m watching this country drown in patriotism while spitting on intellect

Where did it all go wrong?
When did ideology overtake science ology?
When did there become two facts?
Why do two opposing parties represent the same act?

Money
Ah, the root of all evil
The men in the lobby
The slime in the ruin

The blind are doing
Exactly as their masters are brewing
Fighting each other over the same piece of pie
The smallest piece, while the rich take delight
A media smokescreen blocking basic human rights
Then a right that threatens the most basic human right

Life

What is this obsession with an instrument designed to kill?
What is this need, and why so much fear?

Land of the free and home of the brave?
But not free of stray bullets
And a gun means afraid

Cowards only
We run like a nation of cowards
Scared of a word, but not scared of a gun
Scared of a breast, but so eager to shed blood

In a war for investment the winners make decisions
The profits are in the billions
But no newspaper will tell it

And sadly, we don’t demand it

Well, what would happen if we demand truth be said?
What would happen if we used math to form facts?
What would happen if we refused to buy?
What would happen if we rise up tonight?
What would happen if we were no longer afraid?
What would happen if we quit our gods for one day?
What would happen if we act like human beings?
What would happen if we really became… “we?”

If you want real change don’t occupy a voting booth
Occupy their homes, hold them hostage to the truth
Target their money, target their strengths
Target their enablers, stop them at the gates

Beat the message, hold the rallying cry
Grow in numbers, ensure to hold the line
Educate and inspire, take your country back
Without one bullet fired, just a people stand intact
